Historically, Boeing has been considered more reliable and safer than Airbus. Hence, it is worth considering the differences in the safety occurrences of the core narrow-body single-aisle aircraft of Boeing and Airbus; the 737 and A32x families of aircraft.
Airbus emphasizes commonality across its aircraft models, meaning that pilots can more easily transition between different Airbus aircraft. This approach benefits airlines by reducing training time and costs. Boeing's aircraft, in contrast, have more variation in cockpit design and systems.
With these significant differences in flight control systems, conversion training is required for an Airbus pilot to fly a Boeing aircraft, or vice versa.
